“It’s starting to take a toll on me,” Thames said. “There’s nothing I can do about it. I have to suck it up and keep playing.”

The good news: The Aztecs get a bye next Wednesday and don’t play for a full week after Saturday’s home game against TCU.

Notes

The media relations departments from SDSU and Boise State list different final scores from their only previous meeting, on Dec. 16, 1976 at Peterson Gym. Boise State lists a 79-68 Aztecs victory. SDSU says it was 78-68 (and a box score from its statistical archives confirms that) … The combined 46 fouls by the whistle-happy Mountain West officials were the most in a regulation SDSU game this season. The average fouls in their previous five MW games: 30.
